Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.
This itinerary includes overland travel for the most part excluding the need for domestic flights and cutting down on Carbon emissions. Public transport has also been incorporated into this itinerary and includes a train journey from Woodlands station in Singapore into Malaysia to Tampin.From here we recommend taking a taxi to Malacca as it is more cost effective and fuel efficient than having a private car come from Kuala Lumpur or Malacca.
Where it is possible to make the most of your time we have included walking tours rather than tours with a vehicle. This way it cuts down on the fuel emissions and you can also get to grips with the local public transport systems too.
Blue Mansion in Penang has been faithfully restored to its former glory. It has a responsible attitude towards the environment and has limited facilities as a result. The Majestic in Kuala Lumpur is part of the YTL hotel group who are committed to developing sustainable practices at all of their hotels. Using the tagline ‘Make a good future happen’ the hotel group aims to achieve sustainability throughout its business.
The Impacts of this Trip
At the Blue Mansion in Penang you are encouraged to sample the fabulous local food at nearby restaurants as the mansion is only equipped to provide guests with breakfast, thus helping to support other businesses.
Our local partners employ local chauffeur-guides and have a passion for their homeland and a desire to share their cultural heritage with visitors. Using local guides provides employment opportunities.
